Danny Jones and wife Georgia Horsley pictured together for first time in four months as they put his 'drunken kiss' with Maura Higgins behind them
Danny Jones and wife Georgia Horsley appeared to put the singer's 'drunken kiss' with Maura Higgins behind them as they were pictured together for the first time in four months on Monday. The couple weathered a rough patch following the snog with his I'm A Celeb co-star at the BRITs afterparty in February. And since then the couple have mostly refrained from sharing photos of each other on social media. But they appeared back on track this week as they were seen with her family during a huge reunion. The photo showed Danny, 39, and Georgia, 38, standing in a crowd of relatives, including seven-year-old son Cooper, while both beamed for the camera She captioned the post: 'And then there was 17. My family are dotted all over the world so getting all of us together at once is near on impossible which makes days like this even more special'. Before adding: 'Cousins, aunties, uncles, parents, husbands, wives, kids… my house was full and my heart happy. Missed you Si'. She captioned: 'And then there was 17. My family are dotted all over the world so getting all of us together at once is near on impossible which makes days like this even more special'. The couple were last seen together publicly in March and looked tense on a walk, just days after the singer's kiss with Maura was revealed. Last month Danny shared his first photo of Georgia since the scandal broke in a photo that showed their son running around the garden, whilst Georgia could be seen relaxing in the sunshine. Georgia, who has kept quiet throughout the scandal, posted a picture of her father and one of Danny to celebrate Father's Day earlier the same month, in another sign that the couple have weathered the storm. At the end of May Georgia gave an insight into her 'life lately' with an update - but failed to mention the McFly star. She shared a series of recent photos with Cooper and her friends - with Danny missing. She captioned the post: 'Life lately… Friends, family, filming, fresh air and fun… lots of lovely fun.' Danny and Georgia's marriage was rocked after the I'm A Celeb winner shared a drunken kiss with campmate Maura at a Universal Records party. Meanwhile further reports claimed the pair had continued their night until 6am, sharing wine together at Nobu Hotel bar. Danny, who apologised to his wife and family for 'putting them in this situation', has stayed living at the couple's West London home, where Georgia moved to on her own as he appeared on the ITV jungle series in December. Sources told MailOnline in the weeks after the scandal that despite their efforts, Danny and Georgia were like 'passing ships' and friends feared their relationship was hanging on by a thread. A source told MailOnline: 'Danny and Georgia have been trying to navigate a very difficult time in their marriage and for the best part they have been taking each day as it comes. 'They may be living under the same roof, but they barely see each other and right now are like passing ships. 'Danny is preparing for his summer gigs with McFly, and Georgia has been attending influencer events and collaborating with brands, all while looking after son, Cooper, who regularly features on her Instagram profile. 'But when they're not working, Danny is out on his motorbike or exercising in the gym, and Georgia is either on her own or spending time with family and girlfriends. 'They haven't actually been publicly seen together for six weeks and behind the scenes, their relationship is anything but normal.' Georgia, who's a former Miss England, temporarily moved out of the family home in the wake of the kissing scandal. But after deciding to give their marriage a second chance, she returned to the property as sources claimed Danny was willing to do 'anything to make it work.'

Maura Higgins to make comedy debut in movie that is coming to Irish cinemas
Maura Higgins is set to make her comedy debut later this year. The Love Island star is among the cast of the Irish comedy The Spin, a film directed by Michael Head, which debuted at The Belfast Film Festival 2024 but is now coming to cinemas. In the clip, the Longford native is seen laying in bed while another showed her taking a deep breath. On Thursday, The Spin's writer Colin Broderick delivered an update on the movie's cinema release and shared on Instagram that it'll be in Irish cinemas this October. Colin added that opening night will be in Omagh on October 24. The Spin synopsis reads as: "Two down on their luck record store owners, Elvis and Dermott, take a cross country road trip to Cork to acquire a priceless record that could save their failing business and save them from eviction from their evil landlord, Sadie." Maura features alongside a very talented cast that includes The Pussycat Dolls' Kimberly Wyatt, Game of Thrones' Brenock O'Connor and Derry Girls' Tara Lynne O'Neill and Leah O'Rourke. The film's director Michael Head previously shared the premise of the film, saying: "A year back I directed a delightful fun little tale about two loveable idiots in Ireland." He explained it will be "very different to my normal projects but full of heart and charm", adding he is "delighted" that the film has sold out at the Belfast Film Festival.

(Image: Getty Images) Speaking to DigitalSpy, Maura spoke about her experience on set: "Being on set was an incredible experience, and I enjoyed every moment! I play the character of Rose, the girlfriend of Dermot, a down-on-his-luck record store owner." "The Irish are known for our storytelling, so it felt fitting that my acting debut would be in an Irish film. "Although I am comfortable in front of the camera, it did still feel nerve-wracking at first, but chatting with the brilliant cast and crew helped me relax." Maura can be seen briefly in the trailer as her character Rose, Brenock O'Connor's on-screen girlfriend. In one scene, Maura's seen lying in a bed looking rather grim and in another she looks concerned as she takes a deep breath with her phone in her hand.

Maura Higgins makes sensational return to Love Island as 'ultimate bombshell' against all odds - admitting 'it feels good to be back'
Maura Higgins made a sensational return to Love Island on Sunday night as she re-entered the TV villa - but not how you'd expect. The Irish star, 34, said it 'feels good to be back' after laying low from screens recently, following her Bafta 'snog' with McFly 's Danny Jones. It was previously announced how she would be stepping away as host of the spin-off show Aftersun on Love Island USA over conflicting schedules as Australian host Sophie Monk took her place. However, Maura returned to the villa for the show's finale last night as the winner was crowned. Despite reports she wouldn't return on air for the last episode of the current series, she left fans of the dating show delighted as she popped up in the Fiji-based villa. Show narrator Iain Stirling, 37, described Maura as the 'ultimate bombshell' to viewers as he -reintroduced her. The Irish star, 34, said it 'feels good to be back' after laying low from screens recently, following her Bafta 'snog' with McFly 's Danny Jones The Scottish star said: 'Tonight, the ultimate bombshell returns, it's Maura Higgins, and she's brought some All Star friends with her.' There were just four couples left in the villa - Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen, Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales, Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez and Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley - heading into Sunday's finale. Each of the four couples went on one last epic date, before the winner was declared by host Ariana Madix. However, only one member of the winning couple was actually awarded the $100k prize, and they must decide whether or not to split it with their partner. It was also revealed that there will be a Season 7 reunion special co-hosted by Madix and Andy Cohen, airing Monday, August 25 at 9 PM ET on Peacock. So who won this tumultuous season of Love Island USA? It was in fact Amaya and Bryan who emerged victorious! Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez finished in fourth place and Huda Mustafa and Chris Seele were in third, which shocked Huda since they revealed earlier in the finale that they were going to be 'just friends.' 'How the f**k did we get third? We're not even together-together,' Huda said with a laugh after leaning of her third-place finish. 'I feel so seen and validated for people to see how strong our connection is,' Amaya said after winning Amaya and Bryan beat out runners-up Nic and Olandria for the prize, with each of them given cards - one of which had $0 and the other with $100,000. 'I feel so seen and validated for people to see how strong our connection is,' Amaya said after winning. 'Meeting Amaya here, turned my experience around ridiculously. It feels surreal,' Bryan said. Amaya's card was $0 with Bryan winning $100,000, who was then faced with the choice to split the cash with Amaya or take it all. 'Honestly, this isn't even really a question for me. Me and Amaya talk about our upbringings a lot. All I keep thinking about is my dad saying, "Money is important but it isn't everything." Of course I'm splitting this money with Amaya,' Bryan said.
